Black Metal Silliness
Those who know me know that I am a huge black metal fan and even I found this funny. This is just a take on the awe and shock promoted by black metallers in their photo shoots in an attempt to create this dark atmosphere replete with pagan imagery. The intention is to remain 'true' to the cause - corpse paint, bleak winters in the mountains, old forests, primitive wicca/occult rituals and medieval weapons. Of course, some of them carry it off very well but at some point of time the charade just turns out to be that - a charade. To see exactly what I mean, visit this page.

Sans the paint or color on the face, all your pics look pretty much like these.

of course they do! I am a huuuge black metal fan, you ought to know that by now :-)
right on Nazguuuuul, the music speaks for itself. The imagery helps when it compliments the music but just on its own it looks.......
Gone are the long tresses!
lol :-)) Art directors inadvertently turning into part-time clowns? Well, whoever said no to laughter now and then!
